<a name='Perl 6 Summary for 2005-02-08 through 2005-02-22'></a><h1>Perl 6 Summary for 2005-02-08 through 2005-02-22</h1>
<p>All~</p>
<p>Welcome to yet another fortnight summary.  Lately p6l has been out stripping p6i in volume.  While this used to be the norm, lately it has become a rare occurrence.  Strange...  Anyway, this summary would be brought to you buy cookies, but I ate them all.  So instead this summary is brought to you by the remaining chocolate chips.  In other news, Autrijus Tang has just officially been promoted to first name only status in the summaries based on both his stellar work with Pugs and his highly identifiable name.  He now joins the ranks of Larry, Dan, Madonna, and Leo.</p>

<a name='do { } while?'></a><h3>do { } while?</h3>
<p>David Storrs wanted to know what the best way to say <code> do { } while($foo); </code> was.  Larry told him that <code> s/do/loop/ </code> would suffice.</p>

<a name='nest as a primitive looping operation'></a><h3>nest as a primitive looping operation</h3>
<p>Timothy Nelson gets credit for resurrecting the oldest thread I have seen brought back recently.  Over two years ago, he mentioned a powerful looping structure that allowed for recursion.  Now he has found a use for it.</p>

<a name='Loop Entry'></a><h3>Loop Entry</h3>
<p>Joe Gottman wanted to execute a closure every time a loop was entered, not upon every iteration.  He thought ENTER happened only once ever, but it turns out that it will do what he wants.</p>

<a name='higher order operators'></a><h3>higher order operators</h3>
<p>Timothy Nelson wanted to have meta-operators.  Larry gave him the full unicode character set with which to define them.  Tim was happy.</p>

<a name='none and nor delimiter'></a><h3>none and nor delimiter</h3>
<p>Thomas Sandlaß suggests using <code> \ </code> as a none junction delimiter.  He then extended this idea to provide a logical nor, <code> \\ </code>.  Autrijus suggested <code> ! </code> for none.  There was some argument about whether nor deserved such huffmanization.  Also, I think that the difference between <code> // </code> and <code> \\ </code> would continually escape me.  I have enough troubles writing code to deal with windows filesystems.</p>

<a name='Kudos to Autrijus'></a><h3>Kudos to Autrijus</h3>
<p>Damian proudly welcomed Autrijus to the ranks of the last-nameless-ones.  He also lauded his amazing work at forcing a lazy language to pull a lazier one.  I think we all agree.</p>

<a name='containers vs object references'></a><h3>containers vs object references</h3>
<p>Rod Adams wondered whether there was a litmus test that could determine if something deserved its own sigil.  The answer appears to be mostly history.  Larry suggested a simplistic way to create new sigils, although it would not provide interoplation.  I think a blessed method for defining new sigils which do interpolate and provide some sort of type constraint and context would be really nifty.  Also I want a million dollars in small, non-consecutive, unmarked bills.  If you have either of these please mail it to me.</p>

<a name='printing true'></a><h3>printing true</h3>
<p>Autrijus wondered about true and fasle.  Are they just 1 and 0?  #t and #f?  Larry answered bool::true and bool::false, but true and false would suffice when there was no ambiguity.</p>

<p>Juerd mistakenly thought that ~ bound tighter than x.  Only unary ~ binds that tightly, so he is safe.</p>

<a name='getting the key|value of a pair'></a><h3>getting the key|value of a pair</h3>
<p>Steve Peters wondered how he could get the key or value from a pair.  It turns out that the .key and .value method will do what he wants until some twisted soul overrides them...</p>

<a name='Junctiuons and Autothreading'></a><h3>Junctiuons and Autothreading</h3>
<p>By far the longest topic this week was junctions.  Some people worry that their autothreaded behavior will cause plagues to ravage the earth and novices programmers to go blind.  Others feel that without it Perl6 will be a language suitable only to pond scum and cobol programmers.  While one side believes that autothreading repition of sid effects will  crash any database that interacts with Perl6, the other side believes that requiring extra pragmas to unlock their full power will prevent junctions from curing cancer.  Either way someone is going to be unhappy.  It looked like the pendulum was swinging towards autothreading, but its chief proponenet will be away next week, so who knows if it can survive undefended.  My favorite suggestion in all of this was to make Perl6 a pure functional language and introduce monads.</p>

<a name='nullary vs nonslurpy'></a><h3>nullary vs nonslurpy</h3>
<p>Autrijus found it distressing that to get his quicksort to sort quickly he had to make an empty signature slurpy.  Larry assured him that it was OK.  This also led to a question of MMD tiebreaking.  Remember to attach an is default if you want your ties broken!</p>

<a name='pairs'></a><h3>pairs</h3>
<p>Steve Peters had a few more questions about pairs, which made Osfameron notice that he could use pairs like lisp's dotted pairs.  Larry admit that he could and was hoping that no one would notice.</p>

<a name='octal strings'></a><h3>octal strings</h3>
<p>Luke Palmer wondered what strings would change radix and to what.  The concensus was that something needed to change but they were not exactly sure what...</p>

<a name='Pugs 6.0.8'></a><h3>Pugs 6.0.8</h3>
<p>Pugs continues to approach 2 * \pi with the release of 6.0.5 and later he decided that he should release more stuff and put out 6.0.8.  It has many new features and a much improved test suite.  You should contribute tests.  All the cool people are.</p>

<a name='tailcalls'></a><h3>tailcalls</h3>
<p>Bob Rogers wants to make tailcalls without knowing the last calls return values.  Currently he just lies to imcc to make it work.  Leo pointed him to <code> interpinfo .INTERPINFO_CURRENT_CONT </code> and also suggested that adding a tail_call op would be a good idea.</p>
